reyes is good

two goals in two games. henry calls him electric. we shall see.

the ugly american

come the world cup i will not be cheering for the u.s. national team. the reason is landon donovan, and here are the five most important reasons to dislike (or even hate) the u.s. national team and l.a. galaxy striker:

5. he's rich.

4. he tried to cut it twice with bayer leverkusen of the bundesliga and failed miserably, blaming the germans rather than himself. hell, even shabby owen hargreaves can cut it with a far superior bayern munich. what's donavon's problem?

3. he's a racist prick: "The Mexican players are jealous of us [the U.S. players] because we have a life and they have nothing.

2. he forced the m.l.s. to change their tranfer rules, displacing guevara from the l.a. galaxy because he refused to play for f.c. dallas when he came back to the states. now, to be fair, the m.l.s. should have told him to fuck off, but he is not good enough to have delivered such an ultimatum.

1. he's got no class: during the olympic 2004 qualifications he urinated on the guadalajara pitch in mexico. his excuse: "when you've got to go, you've got to go."

i hope some mexicans catch him in a dark alley in tijuana and fuck him up real good.
